New release / upcoming shows

First off, apologies for the lack of updates recently. Life has a funny habit of overtaking me sometimes.

New release

SparklehorseI'm very pleased to announce the release of a collaboration between myself and The Unwinding Hours. It is a cover of Spirit Ditch by Sparklehorse that was done for The Steinberg Principle's ongoing series of Sparklehorse, Vic Chesnutt and Elliott Smith covers in aid of Depression Alliance UK.

Mark Linkous was always an inspiration to me as someone that managed to channel his darker moments through music, something that I tend to do myself. His death affected me, first with sadness and a little bit of panic, but also with resolve.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Craig and Iain. I hope that I get the chance to do so again.

You can download Spirit Ditch from Bandcamp here.
